Local SEO Services in Shelby, NC

Brian Tart, Brian Goes Local, Shelby NC local SEO

I'm Brian Tart. I've lived in Shelby for 30 years and run Brian Goes Local out of BizHub on Lafayette Street. Before starting this business I spent nearly a decade doing SEO and content work for a national digital marketing agency in San Diego. I brought that experience back home because local businesses here deserve the same level of attention that bigger companies get — and most aren't getting it.

I help Shelby businesses get found on Google, Google Maps, and in AI search results like ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews. If you have a website, send it my way. If you don't, I can help with that too. Either way, I'll take a look for free.

What I can do for your Shelby business

Fix the Foundation

I'll make sure your Google Business Profile, Search Console, Analytics, and directory listings are all set up and consistent. Most Shelby businesses I've looked at are missing at least one of these. Nothing else works without it.

Build Visibility

Next I'll work on your page titles, schema markup, FAQ content, and AI search signals. Once your foundation is solid, Google starts showing your business more often to people searching in Shelby and surrounding areas.

Grow Monthly

Monthly maintenance keeps the momentum going with Google Business Profile updates, Search Console monitoring, and a monthly performance snapshot so you can see exactly what's working.

Common questions from Shelby business owners

How much do local SEO services cost?

Pricing depends on what your business needs and what's already in place. I offer a one-time foundation setup and monthly maintenance. I'll tell you the cost before any work starts.

How do I get my business to show up in AI search results like ChatGPT and Google AI?

Many of the same elements that help with local SEO also help with AI search — a complete Google Business Profile, consistent online listings, reviews, and clear website content. I structure your site so AI tools can read and cite your business as a local recommendation.

I'm based in Shelby but want to reach customers in Kings Mountain, Boiling Springs, and Gastonia. Can you help?

Yes. Local landing pages for specific cities help your business show up in searches from nearby communities, not just your home base.

How do I know this actually works?

Brian Goes Local ranks at or near the top of local search results for local SEO in Shelby, Kings Mountain, Rutherfordton, and surrounding areas. I got there in five weeks using the same approach I use for clients. If your business isn't showing up in Shelby searches, reach out. I'll take a look for free.
